Charles Hufty.

Push to enlarge.

Captain Charles Hufty Was born in Philadelphia, July twenty-fourth, 1839, in which city he resided during the early days of his life. He passed his school life with high honors, and was noted for his probity, intelligence and high moral character. The family having removed to Camden, New Jersey, he resided with them, and was engaged in the hardware business in Philadelphia until the sound to battle, which roused the nation to unbrotherly strife ; when, impelled by a patriotic love of country, he at once hastened to join the conflict for the restoration and perpetuation of our glorious Union.

When the call came for volunteers for three months' service, he responded at once, and enlisted in the Philadelphia Grays, First regiment artillery, Pennsylvania volunteers, and left with them for the seat of war in April, 1861. Having served out his three months term, he entered the ranks of the Ninth New Jersey, then just forming. He participated in all the campaigns and battles in which that regiment was engaged, and was promoted to the captaincy of Company I; July twenty-fifth, 1864. For nearly two years he acted as quartermaster of the Ninth. Having passed unharmed through many battles until almost the close of the war,

Captain Hufty was at last fatally wounded at the head of his company in the skirmish at South- west Creek, North Carolina, March seventh, 1865. He died at the officer's hospital, Newbern, where he received every attention, and had every care that kind-hearted women could give him, but passed away from this life on the fourteenth, regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and beloved by his numerous friends for his many virtues and gentle disposition. His remains were interred at Mount Vernon cemetery, Philadelphia, April tenth, 1865.

Time to Eat.

Occasionally there were places where something good would open up. Soon after our return to Loudon, Sergt. Leeds of Co. C cast a wistful eye across the Tennessee, when a flock of sheep ran across his sight, upon which he said to " Uncle Ben ": " I wish we had some of that mutton over there." " I wish we had, too," came the answer. The times were such that nothing more needed to be said: no permission granted, no prohibition ordered — though there were standing orders against foraging except under direction of the quartermaster. The sergeant at once understood the words well enough to pick up a squad and "go for 'em." He had no difficulty in finding a boat, which, with a little repairing (soldiers always have a way of doing such things) bore them right speedily to the other shore. Landing by a farm house they stopped to get something to eat, and found a smoke house well filled with hams, shoulders and the like, to which they helped themselves and loaded their bayonets with all they could carry. In this way the mutual wishes of " Uncle Ben " and themselves were fully satisfied for the time being.

Spanish American War. 

Captain A. B. Cree, of Civil War fame, addressed the boys in this last assembly before moving forward to the depot. He said here: "True bravery is not recklessness. Appreciate danger, do not rush into it with foolhardiness, but be prepared to meet it when duty calls. Moral character makes truly brave men, and as I look into your earnest young faces I see that nobility of character written there. I know that you will be brave and do your duty in a manner worthy the great state of Iowa, as the good, noble fathers of some of you did theirs, when in my command a generation ago. May you return to us unharmed."

His military career began early during the civil war. Of a patriotic temperament, he volunteered as a private,in 1862, in Captain King s company, Thirty-fifth Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers, Six weeks later, he was made a Sergeant. The regiment was ordered to Antietam, and, just as the train was leaving the station, Sergeant Swift was ordered by Governor Andrew to return to Roxbury, and raise a company of volunteers. This he did in ten days. He was now commissioned as Captain of this Roxbury company, which became Company C, the color company of the Forty-first Massachusetts Volunteers. The sergeant, who took Swift s place was killed at Antietam, five minutes after the battle opened.

Iowa Fifteenth Infantry Regimental History.

Assistant Surgeon H. Fisk, of the 15th Iowa, was the only medical officer in the division, who was known to come out to the front every morning and attend ;personally to the men of his command, who needed his professional assistance during the exhausting, extreme heat and constant severe exposures at this period of the siege. While he daily attended the Surgeons' call in front of the commanding officer's shebang, (tent-fly raised on poles,) musket-balls from the rebel skirmishing were whizzing close bv him several times, and in two instances the balls passed between him and the patient whose hand he held in his own, studying the pulse.

On the 17th day_ of August, while in the rear of two lines of fortifications, (which had been occupied on the 1st of August.) at what was thought to be a fitting place p;for his primary hospital, he was shot in the afternoon at 3 o'clock, the ball entering through his left shoulder, passing through the sixth rib, and lodging in the sacrum. Medical assistance was of no avail, and he died on the 10th. No better man, nor one who attended his duties more conscientiously, can be found in the list of the officers of the army.

How Dr, Hezekiah Fisk Dies.

During the siege of Atlanta Dr. Fisk was in ill health nearly all the time.On the 17th of August, 1864, he sent a note to me while I was detailed as one of the operators at the Division Hospital, with a request that I would come and see him, as he wanted to consultwith me concerning his health, and about getting a leave of absence.

I went to him at once, and found him in an arbor of green boughs,put up just in the rear of our breast-works. He was lying on a little bunk made of poles and covered with cotton he had gathered in the neighborhood. He told me of his poor health, and wanted me to assist about the leave of absence. I persuaded him to wait for a few days, as such an application was regarded with great disfavor except in extreme cases.

While sitting in his chair by his bedside, I noticed bullets from the rebel lines were dropping very close to me, one passing just over my head, another about two feet to my right and striking the ground about ten feet in advance of me, then another to the left. At the time I thought but little of it, supposing them to be random bullets.

After we had talked possibly fifteen minutes, Dr. Fisk being in a much more cheerful mood, I got on my horse and rode back to the hospital, a distance of half a mile. I had just arrived and dismounted when an orderly came in great haste, saying Dr. Fisk had been shot directly after I left him.

I returned to him immediately, and found he had been shot in the back near the left shoulder blade, the ball ranging down ward. He was much shocked and already considerably weakened by internal hemorrhage. I took him to the hospital and gave him every care and attention, and the next day took him to the general hospital at Marietta. He seemed to bear the ride well, and I began to hope his wound might not be fatal. But still he had that peculiar numbness of the feet which indicated a serious spinal lesion.

About 9 o'clock I left him for a few minutes, hoping he might go to sleep. When I went back he was still awake. I gave him a small dose of morphine, adjusted his pillow, and asked him if he thought he could take a nap. He replied in his humorous way that he thought he could "make an average crop of it." The next instant he was dead, and the world had lost one of its best and truest men.

Six John Pickering of One Family.

Captain John Pickering was of Portsmouth. He was a descendant of John Pickering, one of the earliest settlers of that town. The Pickerings had a military reputation. There were six of the family bearing the name of John. John Pickering, 2d, was captain of the militia in Portsmouth for a number of years, and Belknap describes him as a man of "a rough and adventurous spirit, and a lawyer." His son, John, 3d, had three sons, John (4th), Thomas, and Daniel. John 4th was the subject of this note. We hear nothing of him after this date. He probably died unmarried. His brother, Thomas, was killed in 1746 by the Indians, in the neighborhood of Caeco Bay. He left a wife, three sons and six daugh- ters. His wife was Dorothy Stover, born at " Cape Neddock," in 1707 and died in 1791, aged 84 years. Capt. Thomas Pickering, her second son commanded the Hamden, and was killed in an engagement with an India man of superior metal and force. Lydia, the fifth daughter, married Dea. Samuel Drown, of Portsmouth, a noted patriot of the Revolution.

Charles E. Meader

In the late summer of 1862, a group of Californians, all originally from the East Coast, had contacted Governor Andrews of Massachusetts and proposed to raise one hundred volunteers to form a separate company in a cavalry regiment that was being raised in Massachusetts. The Governor agreed with the condition that the Californians would provide their own uniforms and equipment. Officially they became company A of the Second Massachusetts Cavalry, but were more popularly know as the "California Hundred".

Adjutant General of California.

First Lieutenant Charles E. Meader, after charging with his company on the enemy's lines, was killed, fighting hand to hand, " too brave to retreat, too proud to surrender." Lieutenant Meader enlisted as a private in the battalion, and by superior abilities and faithful services was promoted to First Lieutenant, and at the time of his death was in command of the "California Hundred."

Seven of the nine could have been indicted for murder in several cases. Had between six hundred and eight hundred head of stolen cattle and horses, which were turned loose.

December, 1875.—On 28th, a scouting party came across a slaughter house for stolen beeves, about forty miles north of Las Kuscias. Ranchero in charge arrested. After an ineffectual attempt to bribe the Sergeant, he tried to escape, and was killed in the attempt.

Capt. Cox, Company B: Reports that on May 4, 1871,  Sergeant R. V. Parker and eleven men of his company attacked and defeated a band of forty Indians on Rocky Creek, Palo Pinto county, killing ten warriors and recapturing forty horses. Four men of company wounded.

In May last several very bold robberies of stores in Fort Davis were committed in broad daylight by a band of robbers led by the notorious Jesse Evans, the most daring outlaw of New Mexico. On receiving information of their outrages and petitions from civil officers and citizens of both Fort Davis and Quitman for assistance, I dispatched a detachment of company D from Menard county to Fort Davis by forced marches. .A few days after arriving there, they ascertained the whereabouts of the robbers, followed them forty or fifty miles towards the Mexican border, when a sharp fight ensued, resulting in killing one of the robbers, wounding one, and capturing the rest of the party. One of the rangers, Geo. R. Bingham, of company D, a gallant young fellow and good soldier, was killed by the outlaws in this affair.

The rangers had several engagements with these bands, in one of which private W. B, Anglin, of company B, was killed.

The Frontier Battalion during the last two years, is the breaking up of a most notorious band of high-way robbers, the largest, most thoroughly organized and successful which has ever existed in Texas, known as the " Peg Leg Stage Robbers," who have been engaged in robbing mail coaches and travelers in the highways,robbing stores and residences, and stealing horses and cattle in the counties on the frontier, for the last two years. Of this clan, there have been three killed in attempting to arrest them, and nine have been sent to the penitentiary.

Tyer, 4th Provisional Cavalry Troop, 7th Cavalry, went on duty as a sentry on Post No. 2, Camp Hutchings, fired upon a moving automobile and shot and killed the driver, the only occupant of the car. Private Tyer was immediately put under arrest by order of the Commanding General.On the succeeding day civil authorities demanded that he be handed over to them for trial, which the Commanding General refused to do. Tyer was tried before a general court martial which convened on August 2, 1920, at Galveston, Texas. The testimony established thefollowing uncontradicted facts:

Captain Herbert A. Robertson, who was driving the car, was challenged four times by Private Tyer. Captain Robertson paid no attention to the challenge and continued to drive on. Private Tyer fired, according to his statement, at the rear wheel of the car. There was but one shot fired and the shot struck and killed Captain Robertson.  The General Court Martial acquitted Private Tyer

Private, Thomas Bexon, Aurora ; mustered May 24, 1861 ; mustered out June 18, 1864. Tom had several severe attacks of fever, weak and puny naturally, but in battle and 011 the march, a soldier. He would stand for an hour at White river, and shoot fish for his mess to which I belonged. It was great enjoyment for him, he being a good shot. At the battle of Missionary Ridge after we were ordered to charge the rebels, a six-foot rebel tried to run away ; then faced us, and held up both hands to surrender, having passed through our lines by Tom "Am I safe," he cried. " Cau't you thee? Courth you are," said Tom, who lisped. It seemed to me remarkable, a giant and a dwarf, but the dwarf was a lion. At Madison Station, Tom hid in a tree top and escaped capture. He served in our hardest battles. Accidentally killed at Aurora, Illinois.

 In the spring of 1858 he and his brother David traveled overland in an open buggy to St. Paul, Minnesota, there being no railroad west of the Mississippi river except a short line from Burlington to Mt. Pleas ant, Iowa, and the city of Minneapolis was but a village.

He was one of the unfortunate gold hunters during the Pike s Peak excitement in 1859-60. He returned home to Albia, Iowa, in the fall of 1860, with a view of returning to the gold fields early in the spring of 1861. The late war of the rebellion of 61, and the call of President Lincoln for volunteers to defend the National flag, changed his base of action, and at the fall of Fort Sumter declared his intentions to defend the Government.

He enlisted as private of Company H, First Iowa Cavalry Volunteers, June 13th, 1861. Was promoted after about two years service to orderly sergeant, thence to Second Lieutenant, thence to First Lieutenant all in same company and regiment.

Served on staffs of General Cyrus Bussey, Carr and Davidson, at Little Hock, Arkansas, and on staffs of Generals E. D. Osband and B. S. Roberts, commanding cavalry division at Memphis, Tennessee.

Was mustered out of service while under the command of General Custer, at Austin, Texas, February 15th, 1866 having served four years, eight months and three days.

He cast his first vote for John C. Fremont, republican candidate for President ; also voted for Lincoln and Grant twice, Hayes, Garfield. Blaine and Harrison for same office. Was a consistent republican as well as a prohibitionist. Was elected county auditor on the republican ticket in 1869, 71, 73 and 75, four consecutive terms, serving eight years. He has since been engaged in the mercantile business at Albia, Iowa. Married May 17th, 1870, to Miss Helen B.
